Polyphony & Chords
Each track in Tracker Mini can handle one voice which can play multiple
notes, but not simultaneously. To create chords, multiple tracks would be
used when each track represents a note. A triad would therefore need 3
tracks to play the chord.

NOTES
Special Note Commands
Three special note commands can be applied instead of the actual note
value. These are not used for applying a note sound, but are used for
controlling how a note ends. These include CUT - Immediately silences the
audio, FAD - Fades out audio gradually and OFF - Triggers Note Off for the
envelope and starts the release phase.
To access these options, on an empty step, use the Inner and Outer [-]. The
Inner [-] will place a 'FAD' message and additional presses of [-] will then
change to 'CUT' and 'OFF'. The Outer [-] will place an 'OFF' message. On
an existing step, the note can be edited further if required to create notes or
note messages using [+] / [-].
FAD - Fade.
Will gradually reduce the audio sound and fade it
out. Also will turn MIDI Notes off.
CUT - Cut.
Will immediately stop the audio sound. Also will
turn MIDI Notes off.
OFF - Off.
Will act as 'Note-Off' and trigger the release phase
of the envelope to reduce the sound.
